Some New Golf Rules Being Considered
Ball Missing in
Fairway but Obviously Not Lost
When a player cannot find a ball that he has clearly and
unmistakably hit into the fairway, he may declare his ball to be "missing
but obviously not lost" and drop another ball in the approximate place
where his original ball must have come to rest, and play that second ball,
without penalty of stroke or distance, provided that he is absolutely and
positively convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that his original ball did in
fact come to rest in the fairway and that his failure to find it is the result
of the unobserved action of an outside agency, the effects of an unexplained
phenomenon, the intervention of a sinister force, or the occurrence of a
supernatural event.
Ball Swung at and
Missed
A player who assumes his stance, formally addresses the
ball, and then fairly strikes at it, but in so doing fails completely to make
contact with any part of the ball, is deemed to have performed a full-address
rehearsal of his swing (practice swing) and therefore need not count a stroke
provided that he strictly observes the following procedure:
1. He must immediately readdress the ball with the same
club, and his next stroke shall be counted regardless of result
2. He must not exhibit any surprise or dismay or suggest by
gesture or facial expression that he ever harboured an expectation or belief
that his swing would cause his ball to undertake any forward movement
whatsoever.
3. He must make no remark disparaging the course, the
prevailing weather conditions, the state of his equipment, or the level of his
own playing skill, other than a statement taking note of the fortuitous
elimination through practice of a faulty swing or a declaration of an intention
to strike at the ball with less force or in a more controlled and measured
manner when making his actual, true, real, final, intended, and accountable
stroke.
